‘In Katie’s mind, Carl could have any girl he wants’
“Katie knows, logically, that Carl is lovely,” our source tells us. “But she also has PTSD from the love rats she’s been with in the he cheated on her with the nanny and one of her best friends. And she claims that her most recent boyfriend before Carl, Kris Boyson, had promised her marriage and babies before dumping her days later for Bianca Gascoigne. And it’s clear in Katie’s Instagram posts that she still feels hurt and insecure, as she often questions why 31-yearold Carl would be with her.
She recently shared a picture of him with the caption, “I bet [Carl] is thinking, ‘Oh no, what have I got myself into?’” She also praised him for sticking by her after her traumatic foot injury, writing, “There [aren’t] many guys that would be able to handle the life changing injuries I have.”
Our insider continues, “Carl has reassured Katie that she’s everything he wants, and he would never hurt her – and this is the first time Katie believes it when a man says that. But because of everything that she’s been through, she can’t help but worry.”
It’s clear Katie isn’t the only one who wants Carl to stick around. The mum of five shared a clip recently of her eldest son, 18-year-old Harvey, saying he wants Carl to be his “daddy”. Replying to her son, Katie said, “Do you? Do you love Carl that much?” To which Harvey replied, “Yes, Mum.”
But could Katie’s doubts get in the way of her happiness? Our source adds, “At times, she’s wracked with fear about Carl cheating, and it’s driving her crazy. He’s doing his best to reassure her she can trust him, but Katie is her own worst enemy at times and she just doesn’t seem to be listening.” n
